Phish To Release New Studio Album "ROUND ROOM" December 10; February Tourdates To Be Announced Soon

10.28.02

What started as rehearsals for the upcoming Phish New Year's shows quickly progressed into a full-blown recording session, the results of which are distilled onto a new studio release, Round Room, due out Dec. 10 on Elektra Records. Recorded in four days in October by producer Bryce Goggin, the album ripples with raw, vital energy and features a healthy dose of the band's trademark improvisational style. In total, the album's twelve tracks clock in at over seventy minutes.

In addition to their sold-out New Year's shows, Phish will hit the road several times in 2003, including a run of dates in the second half of February that spans both coasts - details to follow in the coming weeks.

Track Listing:

1. Pebbles and Marbles
2. Anything but Me
3. Round Room
4. Mexican Cousin
5. Friday
6. Seven Below
7. Mock Song
8. 46 Days
9. All of These Dreams
10. Walls of the Cave
11. Thunderhead
12. Waves

Already preordered...can't wait to hear their new stuff. Trey played "Pebbles & Marbles" and "Thunderhead" the few times that I saw him this summer. I liked both, but really liked "P&M"...sounds like a Phish tune, not a Trey Anastasio Band tune, and a damn good Phish tune at that.

Hoping they announce some west coast dates soon.

i have my fingers crossed that the album clocking in at 70+ minutes has to do with compositions, not jamming... but i have a feeling it will be the latter....

Already have my pre-order in! This is one hell of a surprise - I would have thought a new album no sooner than April 2003.

NP: Live Phish Vol. 15 10.31.96 (disc 4)

I've had the Halloween Live Phish's for almost 2 weeks and have been playing the hell out of # 14. That was the only Halloween show I didn't have before these discs came out...great show.

Tom Banjo

Ditto.

in my opinion, 10/31/95 is my favorite phish show of all time - with or without quadraphenia - although that's also one of my favorite albums, and i think they played it very well...

this show is just unreal, beginning to end. icculus opener brings SO much energy to the show... i absolutely love it... then it's just nonstop from there... and a 45+ minute yem in the third set, whew!!

best. show. ever.

YESSS!!!



I have never seen them live (stupid hiatus!).

mkdevo

well, looks as though those dates are completely fake.. a lot of conflicts with other events...

just gonna have to wait for the real deal...

Gdrlv

Supposedly, the tour's going to start in Feb. and cover both coasts. I really hope it covers both coasts...been making too many trips back east lately and it's getting expensive...
